Solution:
The columns reflect the relation between the crops and their hybrid varieties. The Cauliflower's hybrid Pusa Snowball K-i is resistant to diseases such as Black rot and Curl black rot. Pusa Komal is a variety of cowpea formed as a result of conventional breeding techniques and is resistant to the bacterial blight disease. The Rapeseed and Okra(Bhindi) are bred by hybridization to fight against the insects by forming a resistant variety, eg, Pusa Gaurav, the rapeseed variety resistant to aphids and Pusa A-4, the okra variety resistant to the shoot and fruit borers.
